An 'island style' mud wrap which detocifies and rehydrates the skin is also available. The Spa is in a lush river gorge. Open, rain or shine; except Mondays, unless it's a national holiday.

A reader of my blog requested to see more photo's of Scuba Diving. So as always yours truly aim to please. Check out some excellent photo's via the Photo Gallery enjoy...!!!

The reefs of Dominica hold surprises for even the most seasoned diver. Frogfish, Seahorses, Flying Gurnards, Snake Eels - these rare creatures become almost daily encounters.

Mix this with seamounts, pinnacles, vertical walls and coral reefs every bit as lush and exciting as any on the planet. The result? Some of the very finest diving you will ever experience. This is the final frontier of Caribbean diving, an underwater realm unsullied and unaltered - the real Caribbean!

Does the country of your parents' or grandparents' birth fascinate you? Would you consider moving there for a better standard of living?

Perhaps you are attracted by potentially exciting career or business opportunities or maybe you want a different lifestyle.

We will be exploring the growing trend of "Reverse Migration" for a new documentary series.

Four 2nd or 3rd generation British families will be given the opportunity to 'road test' a new life in the country their parents or grandparents come from for several months, to find out about jobs, schools and housing. They might like it so much, they decide they want to stay.

If you and your family are thinking about making such a move or have always wanted to explore your cultural roots in Asia, China, Africa or the Caribbean, call us on 01273 224 816 or email familyroots@ricochet.co.uk
